Yes, maybe it is time for a new minor release.

Re: FA v2.3.12 released

Yes. A possible mailout from the Forum / Wiki to all users about a new release may quicken adoption of latest codebase. If the GitHub model is chosen, then we can avoid releases itself and have it downloadable therefrom - even the Mercurial does have snapshots download possible but is yet to be enabled in FA's Mercurial.

Please look into subsequent additions to Open Bug 1785 - I am having to manually update code each time - the negative values are not so much the issue. The optional avoidance of the faillog is nice besides the ability to take values after a delayed include.

Also please look into whether Fix in Open Bug 1858 can be accepted.

Re: FA v2.3.12 released

Anybody interested can subscribe to frontaccounting-cvs_updates mailing list to be notfied on every change in FA codebase. Another mailing list is available where every FA release is announced. I'm not sure we should disturb users sending mass mail from wiki/forum.

Bug 1785 has been fixed, the other one have to wait for 2.4 (our policy forbid database changes in minor releases).

Thanks Janusz, the OpenVZ template is now in synch with the FA codebase except for the db fix in Mantis Issue 1758.

Re: FA v2.3.12 released

I installed the v2.3.12 update but now when I go to make a customer payment the Customer Payment Entry page does not allow me to pull up any customers as I did before. When I go to type in their name when I hit enter the "From Customer" field disappears and will not allow me to try again or pull up any customer names. Was something changed with this update that caused this? How can I fix this quickly? Does anyone else have this problem?

Re: FA v2.3.12 released

First of all you are using a very old update now that FA v2.3.14 has been released.

Your issue is that you need to uncheck the Search boxes in the middle of the right side in the page Setup -> Company Setup.

The screenshot is here.

Please refer the Wiki first and trawl the forum to minimize support issues.
